Ground-water flow and water quality of the Indian Island well field near Grand Island, Nebraska, 1994-95 Ground-water flow and water quality of the Indian Island well field near Grand Island, Nebraska, 1994-95
Ground water is the principal source of water for public and self-supplied domestic use in Nebraska. Ground water supplied about 235 Mgal/d (million gallons per day) in 1990, or about 78 percent of the estimated public-water supply in Nebraska. In addition, ground water supplied about 1,017 Mgal/d, or about 83 percent of the irrigation water in the Platte River Valley (Nebraska Natural...

Public water-supply use in Kansas, 1987–97 Public water-supply use in Kansas, 1987–97
Annual State reporting requirements yield data on public water-supply use in Kansas. data is essential for responsible and effective use of the information by various State agencies. This fact sheet describes water-use data evaluation, illustrates variations in public-supply water use from 1987 through 1997, and documents improvements in water conservation efforts among Kansas public...

Channel stability downstream from a dam assessed using aerial photographs and stream-gage information Channel stability downstream from a dam assessed using aerial photographs and stream-gage information
The stability of the Neosho River channel downstream from John Redmond Dam, in southeast Kansas, was investigated using multiple-date aerial photographs and stream-gage information. Bankfull channel width was used as the primary indicator variable to assess pre- and post-dam channel change. Five six-mile river reaches and four stream gages were used in the analysis. Results indicated...

Advances in solid-phase extraction disks for environmental chemistry Advances in solid-phase extraction disks for environmental chemistry
The development of solid-phase extraction (SPE) for environmental chemistry has progressed significantly over the last decade to include a number of new sorbents and new approaches to SPE. One SPE approach in particular, the SPE disk, has greatly reduced or eliminated the use of chlorinated solvents for the analysis of trace organic compounds. This article discusses the use and...

Water Resources Data, Kansas, Water Year 1999 Water Resources Data, Kansas, Water Year 1999
Water-resources data for the 1999 water year for Kansas consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; elevation and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels of ground-water wells. This report contains records for water discharge at 143 gaging stations; elevation and contents at 19 watershed lakes and reservoirs; and water-level data at 19 observation...

Regression analysis and real-time water-quality monitoring to estimate constituent concentrations, loads, and yields in the Little Arkansas River, south-central Kansas, 1995-99 Regression analysis and real-time water-quality monitoring to estimate constituent concentrations, loads, and yields in the Little Arkansas River, south-central Kansas, 1995-99
Water from the Little Arkansas River is used as source water for artificial recharge to the Equus Beds aquifer, which provides water for the city of Wichita in south-central Kansas. To assess the quality of the source water, continuous in-stream water-quality monitors were installed at two U.S. Geological Survey stream-gaging stations to provide real-time measurement of specific...

Shallow ground-water quality in the Platte River Valley alluvium, Nebraska, October-November 1997 Shallow ground-water quality in the Platte River Valley alluvium, Nebraska, October-November 1997
Nitrate was detected in samples from 25 of 27 wells; concentrations in 6 of the samples exceeded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level of 10 milligrams per liter for drinking water. Arsenic was detected in samples from 23 of 27 wells, but all concentrations were below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level of 50 micrograms per...

Estimated flow-duration curves for selected ungaged sites in the Cimarron and lower Arkansas River basins in Kansas Estimated flow-duration curves for selected ungaged sites in the Cimarron and lower Arkansas River basins in Kansas
Flow-duration curves for 1968-98 were estimated for 16 ungaged sites in the Cimarron and lower Arkansas River Basins in south-central Kansas. The method of estimation used six unique factors of flow duration: (1) mean streamflow and percentage duration of mean streamflow, (2) ratio of 1-percent-duration streamflow to mean streamflow, (3) ratio of 0.1-percent-duration streamflow to 1...
